Disney+ is giving its fans a chance to dive into the making of their favorite animation characters in the six-part series Sketchbook. This Disney Plus’s new project comprises icons from Walt Disney Animation. It’s an instructional documentary film that dives into the lives and workrooms of talented animators and artists.
Each episode of Sketchbook concentrates on a solo artist tutoring us on how to draw a unique iconic persona from a Walt Disney Animation studio. As we master the progression of drawing these persons, we also learn of the artists’ unique stories of how they made it to Disney and their specific characters.
From the Chef’s Table creators, this personal adventure will offer viewers of all generations a new understanding of how these adored characters come to existence on-screen while bringing along other real-life persons on the way.
Some of the characters starring in the film include Kuzco of Emperor’s New Groove, Frozen’s Olaf, Aladdin’s the Genie, Encanto’s Mirabel, Peter Pan’s Captain Hook and Simba of The Lion King.
The executive producer and director Jason Sterman says, “We are now anticipating to positively inspire our viewers to the extent that they pick a pencil and do it themselves.”
Amy Astley, also an executive producer adds, “Remember your favorite Walt Disney Animation film, from the 1990s up to today’s award-winning films like Frozen and Encanto they all commence with a single concept, an artist and a pencil to a special and unique story. “
The six-part series will air on April 27th, 2022 via the Disney+ platform. You can watch the official trailer posted by Disney+ Original on YouTube.
